The screen and stage star, 56, makes his debut on the show's Halloween episode airing Oct. 30. Whether Broderick sticks around Lanford and finds love with Aunt Jackie is unclear. However, the busy actor recently joined the cast of Netflix's new apocalyptic dramedy "Daybreak," based on the trippy graphic novel by Brian Ralph.

On this week's episode, fans will see "Roseanne" alum Johnny Galecki return as Darlene’s (Sara Gilbert) ex-husband David Healy. Oscar nominee Juliette Lewis will appear as David’s new girlfriend, Blue, and funnyman Justin Long will play a character named Neil — a possible new suitor for Darlene.

Speaking of Aunt Jackie, earlier this month TV Line reported that "Saving Silverman" star Steve Zahn will guest-star as another love interest for the character. So which guy will Jackie choose?
